Fire Department Rushed: Fires in Homes, Warehouses and Garages – 217 Calls in Nine Days

The Cyprus Fire Service faced an increased workload in the last nine days, responding to 217 calls, 92 of which involved fires. The fires occurred in homes, warehouses and garages in various provinces. Specifically, fires broke out in a warehouse in Vavla (due to an electrical problem in a generator), in a house garage in Avgorou (due to an electrical problem in the electrical installation) and in a "Luna Park" warehouse in Limassol (with extensive damage and collapse of part of the roof). Also, a fire broke out in an abandoned warehouse in Engomi, resulting in the precautionary evacuation of a nearby apartment building. The causes of the fires are under investigation.
